Meeting #1: A visit to the Consiliul Raional Cahul to meet Președintele Raionului Cahul (Nicolae Dunas). Good to chat over coffee and pray with and for him.

Meeting 2: A more traditional house meeting at Iepureni.
Steve preached on Luke chapter 15 and folk responded well to the message.

Meeting 3: Another traditional house meeting at Iepureni.
Sad to hear the story of how the man in the photo was paralysed but good to share the story of the lame man with him and two of his neighbours (Luke chapter 5) that Jesus healed. Bringing hope into a home of sorrow.

Meeting #4; This time at the Church in Iepureni.
20 people from the village came along and although I messed up the appeal (I tried something different and confused folk), it was a thrill to know of several men who responded to the call to trust Christ!

4 evangelists in two teams of two, meetings @

Photos from two meetings in Tiganca, one in a building (almost a bunker) and one in home, very contrasting venues, perople but same gospel, once again God blessed both men & women responding to the gospel.

Day 4 – three very different meetings today.

Meeting #1: a traditional house meeting with folk squeezed into a conservatory. lots of singing by the ladies of the Church and a good response to the gospel.

Meeting #2: a Church meeting full of adults & kids, Steve shared the message and concluded with a simple childrens talk, great to report that both both kids and adults responded.

Meeting #3: a youth meeting (no-one told us in advance!) but great to see so many young people streaming into the basement hall. We had disturbance with people leaving and then coming back in and also from 5 lads and 2 girls but eventually they calmed down.
I spoke and at the appeal just as I was about to make it one of the young men got up out of his seat and walked up to me, for a minute I thought he was going to punch me but to my surprise he just stood there looking at me, when questioned what he was doing, he replied, “I am here to repent!” so I invited anyone else who wanted to repent to join us at the front, two other young adults came forward and prayed to receive Christ – a ‘holy’ moment that quieted the room and gave witness to the power of God at work.
Thank you for your prayers on occasions like these when there are so many distractions going on and you know that you are in a spiritual battle, your prayers are making a difference!

Today the team moved from Vadul lui Isac to the town of Cahul and this will be our base for the rest of the week.

Only one meeting today for me and also one for Lance & Joshua. My group (see photo below) was in Badicu, north of Cahul. Great to see a mixture of ages fill the room, and a thrill to see two young men responded to the preaching.

Mark writes, “This was one of the meetings on Tuesday in Badicu where Gordon preached. There were around 14 unsaved at it. Two youth made a public commitment to Christ. On the left of the picture is ‘D’ who was one of those who gave his life to the Lord Afterwards when we were eating with Sveta and the family one of the girls said that Danu had been close for quite a while and recently she has asked him when he was going to give his life to the Lord and he said “My day will come” – Tuesday was the day”

Later tonight Steve flys into Chisinau Airport and joins the team. Tomorrow Steve and myself will take three meetings at 11.00am, 15.00pm & 18.00pm (Moldova is two hours ahead of the UK timewise).

Penny’s Ladies Craft Night @ Duncan Road Church.
A chance to chat, drink tea, eat chocolates and of course make some Christmas crafts!

Three house meetings today, great to see believers inviting their neighbours and friends into their homes to hear the gospel.
A good response to the mesage!

Question: What do you do when a baby dominates the room?
Answer: You pick it up and speak on, “You must be born again.”

First preach of the day will be at Biserica Baptista (followed by two afternoon services elsewhere)
Vadul lui Isac in Cahul is located in Moldova about 92 mi (or 148 km) south of Chisinau, the country’s capital town.
Last here in 2018, so looking forward to seeing some friends in person rather than on FaceBook.

Mission 2 is made uo of Josh & Lance from Northern Ireland, Mark McCormick (Moldovan Mission) and myself. We will all be preaching in different Churches today.

At the airport waiting for take-off!
10 day gospel preaching mission planned in association with The Moldovan Missionand local Churches.

Two assemblies this morning at SJS. My visits are not as frequent now the school has a new Head Techer, but the welcome from pupils and staff was more enthusiastic than before, ‘maybe absense makes….’

Great time sharing on the theme, ‘Rememberence.’

Nov 5th: Guy Fawkes
Nov 11th: Rememberence Sunday.
Jesus, “Rememebr me!”
